The Wake County Public School System has become unstable, unreliable and lead by chaotic leadership. It’s time to return our schools to the best in the nation. Together we can turn things around!
On September 12th I had the pleasure to sit down for the Wake County League of Women Voters School Board Candidate forum for #District7. The video, in its entirety, is posted below and all three candidates participated.
The topics included teacher compensation/retention, school construction, budgetary issues, the role of a school board member and school safety.
A few points I make during the forum:
-While teachers deserve to be better compensated, that doesn’t end the teacher shortage. They need support in many areas, including classroom discipline and ensuring they have the necessary materials and supplies for the classroom.

School Safety Roundtable
Join us on June 13th for a roundtable discussion on school safety and the importance of making sure our students, teachers and faculty are safe while at school. My District 7 School Board opponent considered “reimagining” school safety a couple of years ago and possibly pulling School Resource Officers out of schools. I beleive we should have a School Resource Officer in every Wake County Public School including elementary schools, middle schools and high schools. Safety while at school is one of the most important issues facing WCPSS and it is my mission to secure our learning environments.
